This is the best. I started watching Expert Village and have since gotten gigs at my best friends deaf school. Thank God they're deaf, or else they would know that I don't know how to play the drums from crap in a shoe.

I have great appreciation for Berklee, but this is a HORRIBLE demonstration of a basic "Caribbean/Calypso" rhythm.

[barry58D]

Soca? please explain, is it a code

[YouGotTheHerps]

If he payed attention at Berklee, he'd know that's a soca.
